Park Circus has announced Ridley Scott’s groundbreaking 1979 sci-fi classic, Alien, will return to cinemas across the UK and selected international territories from 1 March 2019 in a new 4K restoration of the original theatrical cut to mark its 40th anniversary.
The film was restored in 4K in 2018 by 20th Century Fox at Company 3/Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, supervised by Ridley Scott and Pam Dery. The 4K scans were done at EFilm and the audio restoration was done by Audio Mechanics.
Following a special screening at Glasgow Film Festival on 28 February 2019, Alien will open at BFI Southbank on 1 March 2019 for an exclusive two-week run, before screening at cinemas across the UK and selected international territories.
